Pet care experience

Reactive and Anxious Pups Welcome!

Nice to meet you, I'm Jay. Since 2015, I've cared for anxious, reactive, or happy-go-lucky pups. From a shelter environment to dog walking, doggy daycare, and vet emergency rooms, I've had hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I'm currently studying positive reinforcement training and have successfully supported 20+ reactive dogs in a day to day enrichment program tailored to each of their needs from Sept 24-June 25 before fully focusing on one on one services.

Jay took great care of our house and our girl, Winnie, while we were on vacation. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care and housesitting services! Jay was prompt, easy to reach, followed Winnie’s daily routines, and provided thoughtful updates and photos.

Jay is consistently on time, communicative, and very good at walking and playing with my rambunctious dog! I can tell that they love dogs and are happy to meet my guy where he’s at.

Jay was excellent! We were scrambling to get out the door for a weekend trip, and not only was the original response to a last-minute request quick, Jay knew exactly what to do upon arrival... take our pup out for a walk and relieve some pressure from us to head out! Loved the photos and communication. Thanks, Jay!

Jay took good care of Iris while I was away over the holidays. I had requested daily communication, and Jay sent a picture or comment every day. When I had questions, Jay responded immediately. Iris was clearly well cared-for, and her coat has never looked better, thanks to Jay's grooming. Jay left the house clean and organized. We had travel interruptions and were unable to fly home as planned, and Jay helpfully agreed to stay on longer than planned.

Jay is awesome and did a great job of meeting our two pups’ varied (and at times very different) needs! They are a great communicator, reliable, and trustworthy. Would absolutely recommend and rebook!

Islay had another great long weekend with Jay at our place while we were away visiting family! We would recommend them to anyone. We got lots of pics and updates, and Jay followed Islay’s routine for meds, walks, and food carefully. It’s never easy to leave a senior pet at home when you travel, but we feel really good about her soaking up all the love and gentle pets for a long weekend with Jay.
